SPECIFICATION rt of Letters eaten No. 752,269; jdate'd February -16; 1904.. Applicetien filed April 18, 1ms.- 8eria1 .-No. 3,333. (ii niodel'.)

Be it. known that I, HENRYA. TWIGG, a eiti-j; zenof' the United States of'Ameriea, residing in the eityand 'oounty'ofj Denver-end. State of Colorado, have-invented certain new and nee-J fu-l Improvements in Collar- Shapers; and Ido 1 v "deelare thefollowingto heefull, .clear, andexact description ofthe invention, such as will enable others'skilled in the art to which it appertains to make ahd use the same; reference. being had to the aocompanying drawings, and

to-the figu es of 'reference' inarked thereon,

Whieh form a; part of this specification.

My. invention relates ,to improYements-jn -.eollar-shapers-,' being more espeoially' intended for shapingturned' down collars. v I object is tojprovide a machine of this Ie'lass which shall be autbmzi-tic inopeiation, the collarsbe'ing held in position and Inade to travel" along-end in contact with the heated oylinderduring the shaping operation." This isaocom- .pli'shed by en arrangement of belts around the cylinder, the movingbelts carrying the collars along whil in contact therewith, (the cylinder-- being surrounded by -a jacket open at both endsand through whichthe loeltsi,pass.-

Having briefly outlined my improved eonstruetion as elles the funetio'n it is intended toperform, I will-promised to deseribethe'seme in detail, reference beingmade to the a'coomnyingdrawings, inwbich ,is' illustratedan embodiment thereof. I the drawings, Figure '1 is an elevation of; my improvedcollar-shaping apparatus, theu'pper portion of the cylinderbei'ng broken.

A pipe 13; leading from the bottom cap and carries 011: the water of condensation, Thezstetm pressure forces the water "out through the pipeliig :Stitebly supported on i the plates-16 and 7 surrounding the cylinder between the-said plates and projeeting slightly eboye thenpper plalte, is a jacket 22.-- A number ofbelts it are arranged around the: hollow cylinder and. pessfrbetween" theeylinder' endthe jaeket, sufiicientspaee being left for the Three of these belts are shownin the drawings, and they are mounted on, upper sliveryend of "a steam pipe 12forlhe3ting the v "ofthe cylinder, slso passes-throughjthe serewand lower pulleys or rollers 15 and 16. The

pulleys 15, which are uppermost, arejournaled inspri-ng-held boxes 17, slidablymounted' in brapkets 18, formed on the plate 6. I The-boxes 17 are engaged by springs 19, which bear jagainstthe said-boxes at. one extremity and a, part of the bracket at the oppbsiteextrehiity. Thefaoes of these pulleys 15 are interiorly'curvedto eohf'orm to the curve of the cylinder-8, andthehelts are so located with reference to the eylinder v that the collars r nounted on the cylinder are carried along "thereon-by-the engagement'of theflbelts The jaeket22 is slotted or cut away at the top and bottom to make room for the rollers or pulleys.

The upper extremity of the cylinder 8 is surrounded by a seller 20, which is connected withthe column 5"by; an arm 21, Wherebytheitably supported in the upright positiom I W n,- he apparatus is m use, th na having-been p p rlyironed are appliedby,

Thefhelteoarrying pulleys and rollers are operatedfrom a shaft 24;provided with an. operatingrpulley'2fi. One'vof the pulleys 16 is fast on thisshaf-t, and shafts 26, upon which tiiemity of. the acket. These} collers are I caugh hythe belts and "carried downwardly ieutometdoally in contact 'with the cylinder and the other pulleys 16 are 1nounted, are connected with the shaft 2 k by beveled gears 27 and 28. The shafts 24: and 26v are provided with suitable bearings 29, formed on the plate 7.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim i's 1. In a collar-shaper, the combination of a cylinder adapted to be heated, and a number of endless traveling belts or aprons arranged around the cylinder and in such proximity thereto that collars applied to the cylinder are held in position and made to travel thereon during the shaping operation.

2.- A collar-shaper comprising a hollow cylinder adapted to be heated from the inside,

and endless traveling belts arranged around the cylinder and cooperating therewith, whereby collars applied thereto are held in place and made to travel thereon during the shaping operation.

3. A collar-shaper eomprisingahollow cylinder supported in a vertical position, a number of belts arranged around the cylinder and traveling in planes parallel with itsaxis and in such proximity thereto-that collars applied to the cylinder will beheld in place thereon by the belts and made to travel during the -shaping operation.

- 4. In a collar-shaper, the combination of a cylinder adapted to be heated,'an open-ended J jacket surrounding the cylinder a portion of its-length, and a number of endless belts suitably mounted and passing through the jacket in such proximity to the cylinder that collars applied thereto at one end of the jacket are made to travel along the cylinder during the shaping operation.

5. In a collar-shaper, the combination of ahollow cylinder, at steam-pipe connected with the interiorof the cylinder for heating purposes, a conduit for drawing ofi the water of condensation, a jacketsurrounding the cylinder, and traveling devices passing between the jacket and the cylinder for causing the collars applied thereto to travel along the same 1 during theshaping operation.

6. In a collar-shaper, the combination of a hollow cylinder, means for heating the same from the inside, a jacket surrounding the cylinder and open at' both ends, pulleys orrolle'rs mounted at 'each end of the cylinder, the upper pulleys projecting above the jacket and ,havlngthei'r faces curved to conform to the curve of the cylinder, and endless belts mounted on the pulleys or rollers and passing between the, jacket and the cylinder and in such proximity to the latter that collars applied tothe cylinder are made to travel thereon during the shaping operation.

7. In a collar-shaper, the combination of a hollow cylinder, a steam-pipe connected Withthe interior for heating purposes, a conduit presence of two witnesses.
